The reason I don't use Github is Microsoft's hatred stance on open source.

Anyone remember Microsoft calling Linux a "cancer"? Or Microsoft threatening open source developers for violating 200 patents? Or their official stand where they whould threaten and fear Linux devs? The secretly funded lawsuits against Linux? They even threatened lawsuits at companies for just using Linux.

This company is rotten by the executive level.

A lot of that was valid twenty years ago, and they certainly burned many bridges.

Now there's VSCode, TypeScript, WSL, Dapr and .NET, all open source.

It's still valid today, they just wear different clothes.
